hey hey! ok, so here's the dinner plan:
Matahari (10108B 124 Street)
7 pm.
If you drive down Jasper towards heading West, right where Jasper turns into 124 Street, it's on that block. There's free customer parking around back (that's right...free convenient parking downtown, it seems wrong, but it's true).
Then: On to 90's dance party fun!

Hey folks - Anyone interested in going out for dinner somewhere before heading to the '90s dance-a-thon?

Question...I have rogers internet connection in extreme. We put a password on our wireless connection because the girl downstairs isn't paying. So instead of 4 sharing the connection, there are 3. My roommate wants to downgrade to the cheaper connection because it's "too expensive" not that the bill is split 3 ways instead of 4. I told her that if we downgrade, it would be slow since we are all still sharing a connection and taking away 1 person won't make that much of a difference but she didn't get me. I don't think she understands computers much.
Am I right to assume this or can we actually get rogers express and not see much of a difference in internet speed?

Agreed, alison, it does seem like a site that's forcing it. And they definitely fall short of the user-submissions to Defective Yeti's Cliché Rotation Project (finding new ways of expressing old clichés). My faves:
Old | New |
It's a win-win situation. | Everyone gets ice cream! |
Looking for a needle in a haystack | Trying to find a clock in a casino |
Looks a gift horse in the mouth. | Wants birthday cake on Christmas. |
Nice guys finish last | No one remembers Ivan the Wonderful |
I think he's still taking submissions, too.

uh... bang the bricks, eh?
whaaa?
thus far, i can't say as i've ever used any of the 'idioms' listed... is this another one of those fake pop cultural analysis sites?
it's kind-of funny... in a lame sort of way...

Idioms - How to talk in the 21st century. Here's the one that got me to the site:
Bang the bricks: withdrawing money from an ATM.
Unfortunately I don't ever actually bang the bricks, but if I did bang the bricks I'd probably describe it as banging the bricks.
...
Then again, considering it seems to have lost its appeal after three uses, probably not.
